Chapter 322 Anvil and Hammer Tactics
2000 archers began to move and march towards the west side of the battlefield.
Raven's fingers twitched slightly.
Now that he has no troops available, if these 2,000 archers are in place to attack the left wing of the Eagle Army, the battlefield situation will turn around again.
If the right wings of both sides press toward the center at the same time, and they all get mixed together, it will turn into a completely bad battle.
Even if you can win, the loss may be unbearable.
As for Hoyaz's decision to attack Duduo's army and liberate the heavy cavalry, although it was not what Raven expected, Raven had no intention of punishing them.
After all, they did break the deadlock on the battlefield, and they also did a pretty good job of containing enemy long-range troops.
"Dyprosium——"
With a whistle, Xiaobai flew over from behind and landed next to Raven.
Raven gave a few instructions in Xiaobai's ear, and the Wind King flew into the sky, and then led the Wind King troops in the air straight to the east side of the battlefield!
Du Duo also saw the leaving Wind King troops, but he could do nothing about it.
Now that he has broken the balance, he must bear the price.
For this plan, Raven's left wing must be eaten before the Wind King's troops return to the battlefield!
Just as Du Duo was about to push all the remaining 4,000 crossbowmen to his right wing, a messenger rushed to him, knelt down on one knee and said loudly:
"My Lord Earl, urgent military situation!"
"A heavy armored cavalry force of 500 people is coming quickly from the northeast!"
"What!?" Du Duo was horrified.
He sat on the horse and turned around, only to see a puff of smoke coming quickly towards the horizon in the distance!
There were 500 heavy cavalrymen, and Raven actually placed such a backup plan behind him!
This is an absolutely risky move.
If the heavy cavalry wants to rush to the battlefield quickly, the hiding place cannot be too far away, which also means that it is easy to be discovered by Du Duo.
In order to hide the whereabouts, it is impossible to bring too many people, so the supplies will not be rich, and they can only last for 2-3 days at most.
If the food is exhausted and there is no fight, if you are accidentally discovered by Tu Duo's scouts, you will probably be eaten directly.
But just such a dangerous move, at this moment, became the last straw for Du Duo.
Now facing the iron hoof, it is the long-range troops best protected by Du Duo!
If this long-range force is lost, what role will the Wind King play without any checks and balances...
Du Duo only felt his scalp numb!
They must be stopped!
But now, Du Duo really has no one available.
All the infantry has been sent to the front line and cannot be withdrawn at all. As for the left wing that is regrouping, they have just been defeated by the heavy cavalry. If they attack now, it will only be counterproductive.
His own personal guard captain also died under the iron hoofs of the heavy cavalry.
"Guards, come with me to intercept the enemy!" Du Duo put away the dice and put down his mask: "Now let these Nord barbarians see what a real warrior is!"
Now, Du Duo can only stop these heavy riders by himself!
Leading the remaining 600 or so heavily armored guards, Du Duo passed through the crossbow troops and arrived at the rear of the battlefield.
At the same time, the group of heavy cavalry was getting closer and closer!
"Let it go!!!"
The crossbowmen fired crossbows, overwhelming the sky, but in front of this group of heavy cavalry that had already increased their speed, they had no effect at all.
The crossbow arrows hit the armor of the cavalry and horses. They broke and bounced off one after another, and were trampled into pieces by the horses' hooves.
"Raise your shield——"
Du Duo ordered loudly, and he was already on the front line against this heavy cavalry!
He placed his shield on the ground, raised his spear, and a layer of bright yellow fighting spirit armor ignited around him.
Lei Wen's men are limited, so Du Duo must lead by example and resist the first wave of attack by this heavy cavalry!
The physical strength of the war horses is limited and the long-distance attack is blocked, so the role of this heavy cavalry unit will be reduced by half.
Fighting energy surged in his body.
When the heavy cavalry was about 100 meters away, Du Duo took a step forward, fighting energy burst out from his body, poured into his spear, and then threw it violently.
"Burial of quicksand!"
The bright yellow spear sank into the ground and immediately sank deep.
Immediately afterwards, the whole land boiled!
Centered on the place where the spear sank, huge clouds of sand and soil erupted from the left and right sides, and the ground began to collapse, turning into balls of soft quicksand!
It forms a long flowing sand river 80 meters long and 15 meters wide.
For the heavy cavalry who are rushing to speed, this is an insurmountable chasm and a fatal trap!
Now the heavy cavalry rushing in the front had no time to change direction and could only let themselves rush into the quicksand, where both men and horses were suffocated to death!
A sneer appeared at the corner of Du Duo's mouth:
"What a pity, Raven, you insist on dividing your troops, so don't blame me for coming to defeat them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the 500 heavy horse, which had already reached full speed, suddenly appeared a little sluggish without any warning, as if it had been stopped by a giant hand.
Only the leader at the front, instead of slowing down, is getting faster and faster!
When he reached the edge of the quicksand, his mount jumped up high.
The width of 15 meters was not something that a heavily armored war horse could cross. The leader stepped on the saddle with both feet and suddenly jumped into the air!
Bang!
The leader drew an arc in mid-air and suddenly landed on the edge of the sand pit, splashing a large wave of sand!
Then he picked up a long spear and headed straight for Du Duo!
The footsteps were as heavy as a drum, and silver fighting energy surged around his body, forming a armor-like appearance behind his back, and then suddenly fell back to himself.
"Martial spirit!? Eric!?" Du Duo was shocked!
Why is Eric here? ?
How could he be here! ?
If Eric is here, then who will be confronting Bonta in the Chinese army now! ?
But no matter how many questions you have, you have to live to answer them!
Du Duo didn't hesitate any longer. Fighting energy swelled all over his body, and yellow sand snaked through the gaps in his armor, condensing into a ball behind him——
dice!
His martial spirit was surprisingly a dice!
The dice was spinning rapidly in mid-air and suddenly stopped as if it was being grasped.
6 sides, all at 6 o’clock!
The ground rumbled, and the yellow sand rippled and condensed on Du Duo, wrapping his shield and body. Then it expanded into a yellow sand giant as tall as a hill, and hit Eric with his fist!
Buzz——
The wind pressure caused by it made Du Duo's own soldiers unable to stand.
Facing the turbulent yellow sand, the spear that Eric had dragged behind him crossed the full moon, aimed at the fist, and suddenly drew it!
It's like a toothpick trying to stop an iron ball.
And this toothpick not only penetrated, but even poked the iron ball until it exploded!
锔——
The friction between steel and yellow sand caused a harsh scratching sound with sparks. The surging and sharp steel fighting energy poured into the huge fist, exploding it into a rain of sand in the sky!
Although he was not injured, Du Duo felt panic in his heart.
How could there be such strong level three fighting spirit! ?
Fortunately, the yellow sand exploding all over the sky is an excellent cover.
"Go, my baby!"
Right between the chest and abdomen of the giant, a 12-sided die condensed with fighting spirit, mixed with the yellow sand in the sky, and silently rushed towards Eric!
This dice seems inconspicuous, but it is a pure level 3 enchanted weapon.
At the critical moment, Eric finally discovered the anomaly and swung his spear violently. However, the moment it touched the dice, the entire spear could not withstand the power and shattered like rotten wood!
Eric frowned and made a move that Du Duo couldn't understand.
His left hand suddenly blocked his chest and abdomen!
"You don't think you can stop it with one hand, do you?" Du Duo said with a hint of ridicule.
But the next moment, his expression froze on his face.
Eric's palm suddenly became as smooth and flat as a mirror.
The fighting energy all over the body gathered in the palm of his hand, and then collided with the dice!
"Mirror, shield——"
It's still a mirror shield, but now it's used differently.
Eric was pushed by the dice, and his legs left two deep grooves on the ground. The fighting spirit in his palms became brighter and brighter, as if he had reached his limit, but he finally stopped the dice.
Then, Eric tightened his waist, bowed, and thrust forward suddenly!
The surging steel fighting spirit pushed the 12-sided dice, roaring, spinning and rolling back!
Sa——
Passing through like a shooting star.
In the middle of the yellow sand giant, a hole the size of a person was opened! At the edge of the hole is Du Duo's stunned face, which has lost half of his helmet.
Like a dug up groundhog.
"Come!"
With a wild roar, Eric stretched out his hand, and a spear from Duduo's personal guard fell into his hand.
The steel fighting spirit vibrated on the spear, and Eric pushed his legs hard and sprinted forward!
Du Duo controlled the Yellow Sand Giant in a panic, waving his left arm to stop Eric!
But now, how can it be stopped?
The yellow sand giant's left arm exploded into pieces.
Then the left leg, the right leg!
Until the entire torso collapsed to the ground, splashing into circles of smoke and dust.
Du Duo rolled out of it, looking miserable.
Although there was still fighting spirit in him, Du Duo had completely lost the courage to fight Eric and immediately retreated back to his personal guards:
"Protect me!!!"
The scene before him reminded Eric of Bloody Heights.
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
At that time, he, who was still at the second level, faced off against the third level Heleti.
The result of the fight was a disastrous defeat.
This also led to the heavy losses of the Eagle Army.
But now, as a third-level person, he once again faced a third-level Huangsha Dou Qi user.
He is more powerful than Heleti, has more exquisite combat skills, and has even awakened his martial spirit!
But this time, he won!
Next, he will destroy the opponent's army!
At this moment, except for a few unlucky heavy cavalry, Eric's cavalry had already bypassed the trap of quicksand and came with heavy footsteps!
Eric suddenly raised his arms and shouted loudly:
"Fight around and destroy the opponent's long-range force!!!"
Then the 500 heavy cavalry bypassed Du Duo's personal guards like water.
Eric, on the other hand, smiled contemptuously at Duduo, and then, with the support of his knights, he calmly left and led his heavy cavalry into the crossbowmen.
The scene was as tragic as a rolling pin running over a cherry tomato in the kitchen.
Du Duo could only watch this, but was unable to do anything.
Indeed, if they were all pressed just now, Eric could be killed by relying on their numerical advantage, but that would be meaningless for the entire battle!
In the sky, the Wind King had redeployed and rushed to the west of the battlefield, where the right wing of Du Duo's army was located.
On the ground, the crossbow troops that were supposed to be responsible for deterring the Wind King had been overwhelmed by the 500 heavy cavalry led by Eric and were completely routed!
The left wing of Tu Duo's army has completely collapsed, deserters can be seen everywhere, and the supervising team can't tell the truth. It is a complete fantasy to organize a counterattack.
"It's over..."
Du Duo knew that he was going to lose!
"Everyone, come with me and fight back!"
What Du Duo has to do now is to bring out and evacuate as many heavily armored elites as possible.
Serfs can die, food can be lost, and ordinary soldiers can also be lost.
But those 3,000 heavily armored elites were the confidence accumulated by his family over hundreds of years.
With these soldiers here, no matter how miserable Du Duo loses, he can still make a comeback!
The process of returning to the Chinese army was not difficult, but Du Duo became more and more frightened as he watched.
The ground was almost stained with blood, and there was a slippery and disgusting touch every time he stepped on it. The flag belonging to Eivor was trampled casually, and it was as dirty as a rag.
Many soldiers dropped their weapons and armor and just ran for their lives.
Some people were even so panicked that they dared to attack Du Duo's team!
When Du Duo finally returned to the Chinese army, the situation on the battlefield had changed again.
His right-wing army was attacked by the Wind King. The leader was killed on the spot, and the entire right-wing army collapsed.
Now, the two wings of the Eagle Army are slowly moving towards the center, squeezing Du Duo's living space.
In front of the Chinese army, Bonta and the guy Du Duo once thought was "Eric" were still entangled.
Originally, Tuduo was still wondering why Eric, who was rumored to be much stronger than Bonta, acted so weak.
He thought it was Eric trying to save his energy, or that the rumors were untrue.
But I didn't expect that it turned out to be a fake!
Now, the only person under Raven who can pretend to be Eric is Lynden.
"You are so loyal!" Du Duo cursed bitterly.
He started looking for Eric's direction again, and finally found the heavy cavalry that had joined the hyenas in the northwest of the battlefield.
The 1,000 heavy cavalrymen are watching with eager eyes, as if they will spot the opportunity at any time and take another bite!
"Anvil and hammer tactics!"
At this moment, Du Duo suddenly remembered this term that he had only seen in military books.
Rely on infantry to resist the front line, send highly mobile elites to penetrate the opponent's back, occupy local advantages, and then extend this advantage to the overall situation.
Isn't this the tactic Raven used?
This tactic is usually used proactively when there is superior strength, or at least a balance of power.
Raven's military strength is obviously at a disadvantage!
He also deliberately allowed 500 heavy cavalry to appear on the frontal battlefield, and divided his troops to attack the gold mines, just to make Du Duo think that he had no other heavy cavalry under his command.
Even if Hyena's 500 heavy cavalry failed to escape, Eric's 500 men alone were enough to stab Du Duo's defense from behind!
What a profound calculation!
With no time to regret, Du Duo said loudly:
"Send the order, let the 3rd Brigade stay behind, and the rest of the people will wait and evacuate with me!"
As the orders were passed level by level, Du Duo's army quickly became thinner. Most of the people turned around and followed Du Duo. Only a small part stayed on the front line, using their own lives to delay the pace of the Eagle Army.
The sky has begun to darken.
Du Duo led about 2,300 heavily armored elites and the silent sarcophagus to evacuate backwards, killing all those who stood in the way - even if they were Du Duo's own defeated troops.
The speed is not very fast, but except for the heavy cavalry and the Wind King in the Sky, no Eagle Army can catch up with them.
After all, after a day of fierce fighting, both armies were basically exhausted.
At this moment, an eagle cry came, and Lei Wen drove Xiao Bai to swoop over the remnants of Du Duo's army.
The dark clouds that had been lingering all day finally dispersed, and the setting sun slanted down, bathing Raven in the golden-red sunshine:
"Surrender, Count Tudor!"
"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your soldiers, right?"
This scene made the morale of the remnants of Du Duo's army even lower.
Sensing the change in the morale of his soldiers, Du Duo rubbed the dice with his wet palms, showed a disdainful smile, and said loudly:
"Continue to evacuate and ignore him!"
"If Raven had any way to keep us, he would have used it long ago; he is just here to deceive us now!"
"If I surrender, I will still be an earl; but if you surrender, do you want to have your thumbs cut off and become a useless person?"
These words reminded the surrounding soldiers of the tragic situation of those captured by Raven, and they all quickly quickened their pace.
Raven shook his head slightly: "Count Tudor, I will give you one last chance."
"To surrender or not to surrender?"
"Ha..." Du Duo spat hard, and was about to say something harsh when he suddenly saw Lei Wen pull out his staff.
Above the staff, light flows!
Is the Silent Sarcophagus ineffective?
